I don’t really know my measurements, but I consider myself to be pretty cylindrical. I have big boobs (fluxuates between 38D-DD), no defined waist, no hips.
I haven’t really found the sort of clothes that look good on me–I tend to wear whatever anyway, I’m pretty much too apathetic about clothes to care. I’d rather wear something that looks pretty, even if not so much on me. Buying jeans is a pain as I pretty much have no hips or ass. Can’t wear button down sirt because of the damned loop effect.
At present, my new fetish is flowy skirts that fall right below the knee. I think they’re really cute even though they make my legs look even shorter than they already are.
5 ft. 9, thin, with full boobs. I was always rather straight, but now that I’m older I find I’m getting more hips, which I’m happy about as they balance out my shoulders. I like low rise jeans and pants (but not too low), but have trouble finding jeans that are long enough sometimes. I like fitted shirts and jackets - otherwise I feel like my shoulders are too prominent.
Right now I’m pregnant - so I look like a sumu wrestler with freakishly large boobs…sigh.

When I buy jeans to fit my hips and ass, the waist is so gappy that a belt doesn’t make it look normal. I find stretch jeans and the like so I can have a waist. QUOTE]
Gah! My problems exactly!
“Looped effect”? What’s that? Is it something else I should be worring about? 
… in addition to typos and an inability to preview.
You think you’ve got problems? Apparently I’ve lost the ability to quote.
And I’ve slipped into Bridget Jones-style exclamations. :smack:
Carry on.
I got curious and measured myself. I’m 36-33-36. So apparantly I’m an hourglass!
Oh wait, you said ladies.
It’s stunning how many “hourglass” figures there are out there. I guess I must be an absolute heifer: 38/36/38. Big hips, fairly big tits, big ass, NO waist. NONE. There is less than 1" between the bottom of my rib cage and the top of my pelvic bone. Hip-huggers - which hit most women 2-4 inches below their navels - cross mine.
But…SKINNY arms and legs. My wrists are small enough that I have to wear adult watches near the innermost punch-hole. I’m not talking about those arms where they start at the shoulder looking like Christmas hams and then suddenly taper to the small wrist; the arms are skinny.
Essentially, I look like a potato with four toothpicks sticking out of it.
Oh, and my head’s proportionally small (IMNPFHO). So it’s a potato with four toothpicks sticking out of it and a grape on top.
Fear my perfect proportions. :rolleyes:
My daughter has this problem (she’s 13) and was able to find some adjustable waist jeans from Land’s End. They have an elastic strap in the waistband which you stretch until you have the waist tight enough and then fasten to a button on the inside.
Evenly proportioned (straight up and down?) with small breasts, 5’9" and 145 lbs.
The precise body type of a late-blooming thirteen-year-old. In other words, toothpick. Short, flat toothpick. I go for jeans and loose shirts.
Just to entertain the snarkers, I guess I’m an hourglass, but a long tall one: about 5’10" 36 24 35. My biggest problem with this is I have a very long torso and what I like to call “stubs” for legs. Jeans are a pain in the ass. I can’t wear at-the-waist jeans because to fit the hips they BAG in the waist, plus my real waist is higher than the pants will allow.
I am a huge fan of low rise pants due to the long torso skinny waist thing.
I would say straight up-and down, not exactly a ‘boy figure’ but I have broader shoulders than I ‘should’. Medium size boobs, waist and hips not too much between them (dunno the exact measurements), v short (5’3") and with short legs. Trouser legs and shirt sleeves are inevitably too long (or look weird regarding where the shoulder is. I like ‘boy-shirts’ made for petite women, and Short/Petite trousers are my only hope (tho those are often still too long!).
I suppose hourglass - 39-26-36. I gots me some big boobies.
(Actually, I think it’s because my back is muscular, but I like to tell myself it’s boobs. :D)
Do you mean they’re snarking about this now?
Hehehehe. How pathetic. 
Come now, you know we snark about anything.
